Cheyenne rode all day and all through the night Getting into trouble and then into a fight Cheyenne got thrown in a local jail Good ol' Cheyenne was just as tough as a ten-penny nail And then? Cheyenne played poker late one night Some tinhorn came in to join and tried to start a fight Cheyenne was so sleepy that he could not see He said 'why don't someone tell this tinhorn to quit messin' around with me?' And then? Cheyenne stopped again to get himself a drink He stood by a bar and began to think How he was going to ride out of town He'd ride off across the prairies and put the tinhorn in the ground And then? Ain't no more! And then? Wait a minute, you want to hear about his girlfriend? Cheyenne had a girlfriend that lived on the edge of town She got shook up inside when she heard Cheyenne was in town Cheyenne was going out and mess with the tinhorn She said 'look out baby don't do me because I ain't going to do you no wrong.'
